The greatest heights, at which Xylocopas have been ob- 

 served by me, are 7,000 ft. in Simla (14 and 15-v-ll) and 6,000 ft. 

 at Kasauli (ll-v-07). They seem to hibernate for a very short 

 period in Calcutta, or at any rate to have restricted working 

 hours about the commencement of the year : and probably to 

 hibernate for longer periods where it is colder : but in Akyab I 

 foundi.no hibernation. Generally the common species, such as 

 A. latipes and X. aestuans, commence their day's work at 

 6 a.m. and cease at nightfall ; but there are rarer species at least 

 in Burma which work on moonlight nights In the lower parts 

 of the Himalaya their distribution overlaps that of some 

 species of Bombus, e.g. B. haemorrhoidalis (vide Note No. 6, 

 P- 230) ; upwards they gradually give place to them.
